World-class service, fine dining and resort-style amenities are what Crane’s Mill is known for providing. But it’s when times are tough when the community’s spirit shines the brightest.

Over the past day and a half, our area was hit hard by what many are calling a superstorm, monster storm or even “Frankenstorm.” Describe her as you will, “Sandy” surely wreaked havoc, and our hearts go out to our friends and loved ones affected by the storm.

At Crane’s Mill, the scene was unsurprisingly one of caring, compassion and more than a little bit of fun. Staff members from all areas including nursing, maintenance, housekeeping, dining and administration worked quite literally “around the clock” to make sure residents were safe and secure, and that our community continued to run as smoothly as possible.

Delicious meals were served buffet style in Towne Square and our Activities Director organized lots of fun including puzzle tables that provided hours of enjoyment. Emergency generators were hard at work to power essential services and light hallways and common areas.

One of the Towne Square fireplaces provided warmth and light this morning.

The Health Center deserves special commendation as excellent care was provided in stride.

Luckily, our power is now fully restored, and for that we are thankful. Our thoughts are with our friends and neighbors here in New Jersey and the surrounding areas affected by this recent storm. Many people are having a hard time right now, and we certainly hope that basements dry out quickly, roads become safe to drive and most of all that everyone is ok.

At Crane’s Mill, residents have the fun ability to choose from a number of different dining options thanks to having a flexible meal plan. Their newest option? An exclusive fine dining restaurant named for the community’s address: 4 Five 9.

Open two evenings per week by reservation only, this new eatery offers residents the allure of a truly upscale restaurant experience right on the Crane’s Mill campus. In fact, you don’t even need to go outside to eat at 4 Five 9—it’s located in Towne Square, which is connected to every single Crane’s Mill apartment.

Truly, there’s something for everyone. Interested in seeing this lovely restaurant for yourself? Please call us at 973-276-3070 or simply click here to send us an email. We would love to meet you and show you around the wonderful Crane’s Mill community.

It is that thinking that has lead to Crane’s Mill offering a wide variety of apartments and cottages for its residents. 18 different floor plans to be exact. There are cozy studio apartments, one bedroom with or without a den, two bedroom with or without a den, and stand-alone cottages that measure up over 1,700 square feet.

Some apartments offer open floor plans, while others feature split bedroom layouts. Some have views of the woods to the south while west side homes overlook the pond.

At Crane’s Mill, we’re having our Fall Tour of Homes today! It’s our biggest open house of the year, and we’re featuring four different apartments and two cottages along with our common areas and views of the changing leaves on our beautiful campus. Best of all, our very own residents are showing guests around the homes!
